And statistically, it should be a shock the killer was a white male.

Uh, both perpetrator and victim are white. Spaniards are white.

What a horrible era of baseball. Two steroid sluggers (Pujols and Edmonds) celebrating at home plate. Two steroid pitchers (Clemens and Pettitte) looking dumb struck in the dugout.

Pujols is of no interest bc he is both incredibly boring and machinelike, and so obvious a steroid case as to not even be interesting as a steroid case. 13th round draft pick who less than 2 calendar years later is in the big leagues posting Babe Ruth numbers. At the height of the steroid era. And he’s Dominican. And…

None of that really matters. What matters is that the Chicago team doing well (except the White Sox, who no one cares about( raises the profile of whatever league it happens in. Why? Hard to say, but it does. Jordan’s Bulls, the 85 Bears, the Cubs whenever they make a run, Notre Dame whenever they make a run, the…

Considering Clinton will literally end Western civilization via fullscale globalism here and support of it continuing in Europe, as well as start WW3 via her insane aggression towards Russia and hawkishness, I’d say her winning would be the end of the world.

Cubs go to the Series and it gets less coverage than random shit from an unmemorable day of NCAA or NFL football, or any random NBA playoff game.

Not a super useful part? Yea who needs a 40 homer guy. Bunch of games so far these playoffs where he’d have been an awfully useful part. Heyward can’t hit. Almora can barely hit. It’d be nice to get some offense from the outfield.

He hit and made plays and nobody else did so he stayed in.

Fowler is gone. So. No glut. Shift awful Heyward to center, play Zobrist in a corner, Schwarber/Soler in the other (that’ll be the corner you hope they don’t hit it). Almora will press for time and probably takes a handful of bats away from everybody out there. Heyward unfortunately will keep playing full time bc of…

Lot of wrong in this post. Congrats. Rizzo is at his peak. He’s going to consistently be the guy he’s been the past few years, with maybe some slight variations in slugging good or bad.

I love Baez (see above) but this is not accurate. He didn’t just strike out 40+% of the time in 14, he didn’t hit shit. An OPS+ of 52 is not getting it done.

Actually it’s Rizzo, Goldschmidt and Freeman and that’s about it. It’s a three-man upper echelon.

They’re both signed thru 2021, Baez on his first contract, Rizzo on a team-friendly contract. So as far as that part, they’d be equal. Both are cheap and under the same amount of long-term team control.

He does not currently have more value than annual 290/380/520 lock Anthony Rizzo, no. He’s currently more valuable than Schwarber or Contreras. A toss-up with Russell, with maybe a slight nod to Russell (year younger, plays the more important position, already 20+ homers in a season).

Actually, Heyward at his worst is one of the worst hitters in the league, as he showed this year. That’s no injury out there, that’s a guy lost at the plate. Watch not just the swings, but the pitches he chooses to swing (horribly) at vs the ones he takes.

It’s literally everything on a baseball field he can do, not just even the above mentioned. He had 2 or 3 instances this year (maybe more) where he was beat stealing 2nd, but did some crazy move while he was sliding to be safe. It was like ballet. He had several instances where (as he kind of did in his steal of home)…

Ah yes, that standard made-up strawman argument about a ‘friend’ who just happens to be a ‘right-winger’.

Um, your problem with the analogy is that the CARDINALS are slighted by it? Dumb shit, Notre Dame was the Yankees. Not the Cardinals. That’s why they’re still a big deal.

What a shock that an anti-Trump person is also a retard.
